Question

1. why is air temperature over land warmer than air temperature over water?

land absorbs heat but releases it quickly, while water absorbs heat and takes longer to change temperature
water heats up faster than land and cools down faster too.
land reflects most of the suns energy, while water absorbs all of it.
air over land is naturally warmer than air over water.

Explanation:

Land has a lower heat - capacity than water. It absorbs heat quickly and also releases it rapidly. Water, on the other hand, has a high heat - capacity, meaning it takes more energy to change its temperature and it releases heat more slowly. This is why air temperature over land can be warmer as land heats up and warms the air above it faster compared to water.

Answer:

Land absorbs heat but releases it quickly, while water absorbs heat and takes longer to change temperature
